re: If you NEED a clutter-free life

I hate clutter too, it drives me nuts. The issue with my room is that I am running out of room to put stuff & I am always trying to throw smurf away that I no longer use lol. I need to get some big baskets for stuff, at least that way it will look more organized...I just try to line stuff up like bigger toys & what not, but then that STILL bothers me because it makes the wall look cluttered lmfao (if that makes sense.)

Quoting March 2013:" Yea I think the first year was the hardest adjusting to us. He has to be willing to meet you in the ... [snip!] ... all to himself and then the rest is yours to be organized since you do all the picking up. ;) probably wishful thinking.  "

Oh he pretty much does have his own space to messy up! he has his man cave that i don't even enter cos i know my head would just explode, haha, and he basically has reign over our bedroom. I'm so passive sometimes though, so he mostly just thinks my need for organization is funny.

Quoting KNZ.:" ah, man! that would be frustrating! i hope you get your bigger place soon!! "

come april we are starting to look, if not build. My husband hates it here, and he gets mad at me for "trashing" the house since i'm here all day long lol. But like I said it's tiny! our living room is maybe 9 foot wide and like 12 foot long.

Totally makes sense. We only have one toy basket with no lid, and it's clara's legos.
These have been a life saver
(not my picture, and all of our bins are white- but you get the idea. same unit from ikea )

Ikea is our go-to place for EVERYTHING. haha
I have a smaller one of those for my workspace, one on the middle floor for shoes, one on the bottom floor for toys and use a huge one for Carter's clothes in his room. They're really reasonably priced too

OHHH.. I Like that. we have a bag for all the puzzles and then individual bags for all the pieces my husband hates it, but I told him we would never find the pieces if we didn't. lol. Doesn't he get frustrated trying to find things?? My daughter has autism so her room is organized but set up to how she likes it. She has to keep colors together not neccarly the items if they go together. She will say no if I put a toy in the wrong place and do it herself. lol.

aww   at least she's good at picking up  
my son is 7, so he organized it as he wanted, but he's pretty finicky, so it's done well.
unless you meant my guy, he just throws laundry in their rooms

That would drive me nuts. Yea my husband doesn't do laundry at all. he will lift if for me, because I guess that I'm pregant I can't lift anything (his thinking not mine) ...grr.. I quiet arguing that one, I got tired. lol. Our youngest is trying to take after her father. I um.. am having a hard time stopping that one. She will leave things out and I have to constently ask her to do it. She will be focused on something else and is like whatever. Yep daughter like father.
